Miscellaneous, 1623

1623.

380. "Translation out of Gallo-belgicus upon the Prince's
journey." It is sufficiently known how much the King of England
and his predecessors have assisted the Hollanders, their neighbours,
but they have declared themselves such as he could not have received
greater loss from open enemies, for when some principal London
merchants began to trade into the East Indies the Hollanders took
their ships and merchandize, and by losses constrained the merchants
to give over the trade. The King conceived it not fit for them (the
merchants) to take revenge for so great insolencies, but determining
to embrace their cause and protect them against all enemies and
pirates (and by other name the Hollanders cannot be called for this
perpetrated mischief), his Majesty had written to the States for
for restitution, who answered that those merchandizes were to be
thought of in the place where they were taken, which could be no
ways acceptable. Therefore, seeing his own Majesty so much
offended, he had determined by all means possible to take revenge
on the Holland ships, wherever they might be met with, until such
damage shall be recompensed. [Extract from Spanish Corresp.]
